I’VE RUN A FULL-TIME ART BUSINESS FOR 14 YEARS AND I LEARNED THE HARD WAY.
Hi, I’m Dean and as an AuDHD creative, I know exactly what it feels like to burn out trying to follow toxic “hustle till you drop” marketing advice. I run my own full-time art business alongside coaching, so I keep my client roster small to ensure I'm practicing what I preach.
You just want to make art and make a living from it. But instead, you’re drowning in social media, emails, website updates, and product creation. You don't need a corporate playbook, you need a friend in the business who actually gets how your brain works.
Sound familiar? The screenshots here are my actual monthly art sales and real views from my personal accounts, proof that it is possible to untangle the chaos.
I’m here to give you the exact roadmap, the accountability to keep you moving forward, and a strategy that works for your unique brain. Let's get your art selling without sacrificing your sanity.
“Their encouragement & kindness boosted my confidence not just in my art, but in how I market myself.”
Dean is truly a gem. For the first time, I feel confident in my skills, my style, and my voice as an illustrator. I don’t feel boxed into one version of myself anymore. Before the mentorship, my posting habits were inconsistent at best. Now, I have a weekly content plan!
For the first time, my art business feels real and sustainable, not just a side project I squeeze in when I’m exhausted.
How COACHING works
You don’t need to have your whole business figured out before we talk.
Step 1
The Pre-Call
Vibe Check.
When you book, you’ll fill out a quick questionnaire. Tell me about your art, your struggles, and your big dreams. I’ll review it before we meet so we can hit the ground running.
Step 2
The 45-Minute
Brainstorm.
During your call, we’ll look at exactly where you are right now, identify the biggest roadblock keeping you stuck, and map out what you need to focus on next.
Step 3
Your Custom
Action Plan.
You leave the call with a personalized strategy template based on your biggest need, whether that's a content plan, a website review, or a roadmap to your first commission.
Step 4
Two Weeks of
EMAIL SUPPORT.
As you implement your new plan, you get 2 full weeks of daily support with me to ask questions, get your homework reviewed, tweak the plan, and stay accountable.
Every session includes a Strategy Template based on your biggest need right now

“HAVING SOMEONE GUIDE YOU AND SHOW YOU THE BEHIND-THE-SCENES OF MAKING THIS A REAL CAREER IS REALLY VALUABLE.”
Dean helped me see that I already have the tools and just need to trust myself and go for it. That shift in mindset was huge for me, and I’ve genuinely seen growth in myself because of it.
I would say it is a financial commitment, but it’s worth it if you’re serious about growing. I’d recommend this mentorship to artists who are ready to invest in themselves and want guidance in turning their art into something real.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
If you make art in your spare time but want to turn it into a side hustle or a full-time living, you need a roadmap.
We will skip the overwhelming business jargon and focus entirely on the foundational steps you need to take to monetize your specific craft.
-
No single 45-minute call can magically build a business overnight, but it will point you in the exact right direction.
Most artists waste months (or years!) guessing at what might work. One call gives you the clarity, confidence, and customized action plan you need to stop guessing and start taking the exact steps that lead to profit.
-
It means our calls are a safe space for ADHD, autistic, and neurodivergent creatives.
I won't try to force you into rigid, corporate marketing schedules. We will build a strategy that works with your natural energy levels and brain, not against it.
-
To make sure you get my absolute best, most focused energy, I only take one coaching meeting per day (up to 6 a week).
My general availability is between 11:00 AM and 7:00 PM CST. When you click the booking link, my calendar will automatically show you all of my available times converted into your local time zone, so you don't have to do any messy time zone math!
-
Absolutely! If you’ve already got the basics down, we can switch right into advanced mode. I’ve been running marketing for my own business for 14 years, so we can skip the beginner stuff.
Whether you need to scale up, optimize a specific sales funnel, dive into advanced email marketing, or refine your brand positioning, we will tackle the high-level strategies to help you grow.
-
To get the absolute most out of our 45 minutes, a little prep goes a long way! If you want to optimize something specific, like your website or social media, having screenshots of your current analytics and stats ready is incredibly helpful.
(Don't worry if you don't know where to find these; I am happy to point you in the right direction!)
I also highly recommend bringing a list of your biggest questions so we can cover as much ground as possible during our session.
-
I want this to be a massive win for you. If you show up to the call and don't feel like you received actionable, valuable advice tailored to your art, just let me know.
I offer a 100% Happiness Guarantee, or your money back!
-
The homework is highly actionable and completely tailored to the strategy we build together.
Depending on your goals, it could look like trying out content scripts I give you, making specific copy edits to your website, writing a blog post or newsletter, or simply taking your past "winning" posts and strategically updating them to repost.
Expect to spend about 2 to 4 hours a week on these action items, but we will always scale the workload to fit the actual time and energy you have available to give.
